Rep Power: 0 They are Motegi MR-7 Gunmetals wrapped in 215/45/17 Yokohoma Avid H4.
I didn't install the lights myself, I had a body shop do it... I'm not that handy

Rep Power: 0 I must say, usualy I don't like black rims, but with the tint, and the black projectors, the full silver and black look is great. Keep it up!

Rep Power: 0 Yes carbon fiber hood and some springs! Looking good, like the dark rims with the silver and the projectors. Are they the TYC? Any leakage probs?

Rep Power: 0 Thanks all.. yah I definitely need to lower it, and it is on my next to do list... Eibach ProKit probably. Don't want to cripple the car, as I live in Canada, and in the winter time I don't want to be shovelling snow with my front bumper
I'm not sure if I am ready for a carbon fibre hood though.. i am looking for sideskirt though, to accent the car, and make it look a bit wider

Rep Power: 313 im guessing youll never read this, that it will get lost in the jumble here, but heres what i gotta say about your car:
i have seen so many cars that are silver/white with black detailing, and its always ugly. noone has ever been able to pull it off and keep it within limits of taste.......... you are the first and only as yet person to prove that theory wrong.
your ride has JUST ENOUGH black in there too keep it very tastefull, but not over the top. I like it alot.
please dont get a carbon fiber hood. Its a good idea in theory, but teh problem is that it connects to teh headlights, and takes the impact of them away. your car will become less and less of black trim, and more like a silver car with a big flat black ugly hood on there. its clean now!
you gotta black out parts of your tails, tho. look at the very first pic. you can see in teh angle, that the corner of the tails LOOKS very dark. doesnt that just add to the trim? It would just add to the color scheme! its in a location where there is littel black, so a touch there would definitely fall within the boundaries of good taste!
youve seen em before, right? ppl here have blacked out not the whole thing (which wouldnt be so good) but certain parts of it.
good job man, keep up the good work! no carbon fiber hood required!
